2. Add your objects to your room...Build your wall! 

Task 3
How do we program our objects?
1. Program your player to move using the worksheets
2. How can you test your programming works?
3. Experts?


Extension:

2. Can you program your character to pick up your collectable?
3. Can you program your character to die when he touches the enemy?

 Plenary:
What is the difference between an object and sprite?
What events did you use when programming today?
What actions did you use when programming today?
Name one thing you enjoyed doing today?
